<br />
==Interface configuration==<br />
Change /etc/network/interfaces to:<br />
auto eth2<br />
iface eth2 inet dhcp<br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
*If your are planning to use your wireless interface in monitor mode, for example to use kismet, uncomment "CONFIG_IPW3945_MONITOR=y" from the driver Makefile before running make.<br />
*If you have error: "too few arguments to function ‘ieee80211_tx_frame’" problems compiling ipw3945-1.1.0 with 2.6.18 kernel. ipw does not properly recognize the version of ieee802.11 stuff in the kernel. A quick hack is to change "EXTRA_CFLAGS += -DIEEE80211_API_VERSION=$(IEEE80211_API)" to "EXTRA_CFLAGS += -DIEEE80211_API_VERSION=2" on line 96 of Makefile.
